"Linked Open Data provides a means of unified access to large and complex interconnected data sets that concern themselves with a surprising breath and depth of topics. This unified access in turn allows for the consumption of this data for modelling cultural heritage sites, historical events or creating serious games. In the paper we present our work on simulating part of a Great War battle using data from multiple Linked Open Data projects in a mechanized fashion. In this case study we report on the experience of building a prototype simulation engine using Linked Open Data and provide some observations on balancing realism and historical accuracy against available data."
